TRX Abraxas shifted from traditional finance to digital assets in 2018
Fabio Frontini says Abraxas shifted from trading traditional financial markets to focusing purely on digital assets in 2018, describing the move as "capitalising on the incredible opportunity at that moment". Frontini says the manager's $4bn+ platform, built on 16 years of institutional risk management, gives it a rare edge as pension funds and other allocators move into the asset class.
